Title: Ideas for bow racks/display
Post by: Swiftspeed10 on January 24, 2011, 10:52:00 PM
So in my new room I do not have much floor space to put a bow rack, I wanted to put hooks on the wall to serve as a bow rack.  Only thing is I do not want straight hooks because I do not want my bows falling off, any ideas or thoughts?  Maybe I should go for a hook about 4inches out that curves upward at the end and pad them up a bit maybe with electric tape or something.

thoughts?  Ideas?  Pictures?

i have a rack drawn up that uses a similar design to the picture below , but using 1/2" dowels wrapped in black pipe insulation. electrical or medical tape may be necesarry to get adequate grip , but this will allow me to hang 1 or 20 bows depending on how its made...heres the pic.
